PIL seeks ban on Google Earth Mumbai: Demands removal of the images of vital installations from the website In the wake of recent Terror attacks in the city, a PIL has been filed in the Bombay High Court seeking ban on Google Earth which gives access to 'sensitive' defence and civilian establishments in the country. The petition filed by Mumbai-based lawyer Amit Karkhanis has taken exception to easy access to satellite images of the vital installations in the country and demanded removal of images of the country from Google Earth. "In the alternative, I have demanded that at least the images of vital installations in the country be blocked," said Karkhanis. According to Karkhanis, 'sensitive' areas like naval dockyards and air force bases can be seen through Google Earth. This invites the terrorists to strike these establishments. "The petition is filed against the backdrop of terror attacks in Mumbai," he said. "Even images of nuclear plants and defence establishments are available on this site. It is a security hazard," he added. -- As long as forever, I will stay by your side, I'll be your companion, Your friend and your guide!!! www.ruchir89.wordpress.com To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.
